DRAFT FOR ITERATION AND REVIEW IN FIRST TF MEETINGS

Welcome to the SSI Harms Task Force. Thank you for checking us out!  Our TF Meetings are [ insert dates/times tbc] see the ToIP Calendar for details)  All those with an interest in or expertise in ethics by design, responsible design and risk management (unlikely partners we know) and social sciences are especially welcome.  

WHY?  "Digital identity is literally 'the keys to the kingdom'. It is the tool by which any entity— individual, group, company, community, nation—can be recognized, empowered, protected, and be held accountable in digital society. If we get it right, it can enable safer, more productive, and more equitable interactions. If we get it wrong, it can be a tool of repression, discrimination, harassment, and fraud. So we have an awesome responsibility to design and develop our digital identity systems to protect from these real-world harms." (Drummond Reed  2022)

PURPOSE Write a white paper that 

  • Creates or uses existing framework for analysing the dangers, risks, potential harms and threats (DRiPHT) to people with a particular focus on excluded, marginalized or vulnerable people.
  • Articulates the inherent DRiPHT of digital identity and digitisation and how they are mitigated or exacerbated by use of SSI
  • Highlights any new DRiPHT introduced by use of decentralized architectures and SSI, and how they could be mitigated
  • Recommends practical and ethical approaches in governance, human experience and technical design and deployment for detecting, defending, predicting and recovering from DRiPHT 
  • Identifies key issues and questions for academic research participants to consider
